Killin' Zombies, Gettin' New Tracks & Travellin' to Wonderland!

Yo bloggers, it's Rogue X at ya again.



So, I'm guessing by the title, you're wondering what I'm trying to say. I've recentley rented Resident Evil 5. This has to be one of my favourite zombie games of all time. The gameplay is really similar to Resident 4 and the graphics are really awesome. (sigh) I'm going PS3 Fanboy again.. lemme give a short summary, some videos, and a mini review.






SUMMARY:
Players will lead on a epic journey with Chris Redfield & Sheva Alomar, working for the BSSA (Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance), on a journey to stop a threat to Africa, and to find out what happened to Chris's former partner, Jill Valentine. As they fight through "Majini" meaning evil spirit, a.k.a. an evil virus spreading through people, the team finds out the many secrets soon to be unfolded.

VIDEO LINKS:
(I really don't know what's with the url embed thingy. Computer is acting weird =S)


REVIEW:
Resident Evil 5 is one of the best of the survival horror game franchise. Although it may seem more of an action game, you'll still have alot of fun with it. It's really not what any RE fan would expect it to be. There's not alot of scary horror moments like the previous games. For example: You won't be suprised when a zombie will pop out of no where. The controls feel great! They mostly help when you're in tight situations, especially with bosses. In the graphics department, it rocks. For a next-generation game, it does very well. The environments that you go through really show it and you can see every detail on the character models. For the story, it's really awesome to see how its layed out well. You go through each chapters (6 of them) and uncover how Chris Redfield's adventure becomes a nightmare. I would rate this a solid 4.5/5.




The new tracks that I've been hearing are.. how may I explain this.. awesome? YEAH, I guess they are. Check these out:


BOOM BOOM POW - Black Eyed Peas have returned with their new techno-like track. This is not the music that they always do. The beat is very catchy and is very good to use for remixes. Catch their new album on June 6.




BE ON YOU (FT. NE-YO) - Although it may not be his new single, Flo Rida is still using his skills to make an awesome track. Be On You recreates the elements of Coldplay's Viva La Vida. Weird.. first he copyed "I'm Blue" for his new song, Sugar... then "Right Round" had elements from "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record) by Dead Or Alive. Oh well, all I'm saying is that you gotta listen to this song.


WE MADE YOU - Slim Shady is back! Eminem has always got me into listening to more of his songs and always wanting more. I always loved his interest of fooling around with most of his songs. In this one, he has an amazing beat made by the fantastic Dr. Dre and he "celebrity bashes" which is sick! Check out his album, Relapse, which is already out.



HOW DO YOU SLEEP (FT. LUDACRIS) - Hehehe, I'm glad he turned to R&B insted of going all in the 'Disney Pop' department. With meaningful lyrics, a wicked beat, and a remix with hip-hop artist, Ludacris, How Do You Sleep is #1 on my favourite list. We'll see in the future if the rumours are true if that his new single, Body Language, is his next one. Departure: Recharged is avaliable right now!





That's all for songs, now I'm gonna go back to the 'Life' catergory. Yesterday, I went to Canada's Wonderland. It was an amazing day, since I was with my brother. Canada's Wonderland is a place down in Toronto, Canada where most families have fun with the awesome attractions. My favourite attraction would probably be: The Behemoth. This roller coaster made me scared in the beginning but in the end, it made me want more! For those who don't know what in the world I'm talking about..



Behemoth is one of the new attractions that came out on May 4, 2008. And how high is this roller coaster that made me scared as hell, you ask? About 230-feet up HIGH. So once you get on it, you start going up on your seat at moderate speed. You then feel a funny feeling in your stomach and start regreting that you want to go on this damn ride in the first place. This is where the climax of the ride begins. You go down from this 230-feet hill and start screaming like a girl! You turn right, and turn 180 degrees left. Next, the coaster travels over three airtime hills and over a steep slope into the mid-course brake run. Then, the train does a 540-degree helix towards the right, passes through the camera section, then up a 270-degree helix to the left. Following this is a drop and a final airtime hill. The ride then rises one more time and comes to a stop on a downward brake run into the block brakes. The ride then slowly advances and turns back toward the station, where another block brake stops the train, and holds it there until the station says that another train can go.



I have went to this ride 2 times already and I'm still scared of it. My third time will be very soon. Because of this choir thing, which makes me have access to go to Wonderland. OH! Which reminds me.. yeah I AM a choir boy. w00t! I only got into choir because of my friends, BEGGING me to go to Wonderland with them. Then, I had to go through an audition along with my friends.. which was embrassing. And I made it through. I've skipped class to go to festivals, school concerts & trips. Now, Wonderland is my reward for all the embrassing moments I have done in choir. (whispers: My ladyfriend should know most of them ;D)






Man, I'm tired now. I've been working on this for quite awhile. I should do 'Game Time' very soon.. probably tomorrow. Alright, Rogue X signing off.




BEHEMOTH ^^ =O

P.S. Shoutout for my ladyfriend. Happy One Month! iloveyou =) <3

So Many Things.. So Little Time.



Yo bloggers, how's it going? It's Rogue X back with another blog once again!
How's everyone's week going? Hope it's going good. Mine has been so tiring. Studying for major tests, Killzone on PS3, schedules, working on projects, hanging out with ladyfriend with most of time (which is actually pretty awesome).. these things are making my head OVERLOAD.

(sigh) I should probably continue about my PS3 info from my first blog post. I'm at 61% of trophies on Killzone 2, working hard to get 100%. I'm soon going to get InFamous. I can't wait. It recentley got a review from IGN, with a score of 9.2/10 . Oh.. my.. gosh! I forgot to tell about Uncharted 2: Among Thieves! It's the sequel of one of my favourite PS3 games. Here's a preview of what the game looks like with some screenshots.
















Uncharted 2: Among Thieves picks up a couple of years after the story in Uncharted ends. Similar to the previous story, Drake’s new adventure revolves around an unsolved historical mystery – this time surrounding Marco Polo and his doomed voyage home from China in 1292. After spending almost 20 years in the court of the emperor Kublai Khan, Marco Polo departed with 14 ships and over 600 passengers and crew – but when he arrived at his destination a year and a half later, only one ship remained, and only 18 of the passengers had survived. Although Marco Polo described almost every other aspect of his journeys in minute detail, he never revealed what happened to the ships that were lost.
Drake, attracted by the potential treasure to be found and inspired by the intrigue around this historical mystery, embarks on a quest to find Marco Polo’s lost fleet. But he soon discovers that Marco Polo was hiding a much greater secret – he had gone on a secret expedition on behalf of the emperor to find the mythical kingdom of Shambhala, otherwise known as Shangri-La, and to recover the legendary Cintamani Stone, the wish-fulfilling jewel of Buddhist mythology. The stone is described by Marco Polo as a massive raw sapphire which, if it truly exists, would be worth billions of dollars today. These discoveries set Drake on a new course, following Marco Polo’s 700-year-old trail through a diverse range of exotic environments to find out if the lost city of Shambhala, rumoured to lie deep in the Himalayas, really exists. Following him on his quest will be Chloe Frazer, a new character voiced by Claudia Black of Stargate SG-1 and Farscape.





If both Uncharted games would be TV Show Series.. now that would be AWESOME. Speaking of TV Shows.. tonight is the season finale of one of my favourite TV Shows.. Supernatural. It's about two brothers, Sam & Dean Winchester. They explore all over the country in their Chevy Impala and investigate paranormal events. The origins of this story all begins when both brothers are on the search for their father and the killer of their mother that died 22 years ago. After, the story expands into a bigger storyline and that's where Season 4 is at. I can't wait to see it. Me & brother were discussing on how the season will end.. we both made a decision that it shall be a cliff-hanger.
That's the 67' Chevy Impala they ride :)


I guess that's all for today, fellow bloggers. Until next time, keep it real, Rogue X signing off.


P.S. Ladyfriend kicked my ass in racing at school. I, "intend" to beat her... but that seems impossible. Oh well, that's why I love her. This was obviously for her.. so HERE IT IS! Happy now? Haha, love you!

Positive Reviews

Hey there readers!
It's Rogue X back in action. It's already my second blog in one day. Impressive!
As soon as I posted my first blog, I first sended it to my ladyfriend. She loved it! She said to continue in order to stalk me. (laughs) Ahh, she cracks me up sometimes. I then posted a link on Facebook. At least 5 people told they liked it. My homie, Mothafoe, found it impressive. So far, I'm getting positive reviews. I guess I have a thing for blogging.

Anyways to leave it at that, I just want to post two of my favourite songs from different genres.

How Do You Sleep (Ft. Ludacris)
&
Back In Black

These songs just make me feel good whenever I want to listen to any random song while I'm doing homework. So these should do, and justice is served. Oh well, that's all readers. Till next time, Rogue X signing off.
